There are weeks when cooking dinner isn’t the hard part – deciding what to cook is. By 5pm everyone is hungry, the day has caught up with you and then suddenly dinner feels like one more thing to figure out. This week’s meal plan takes the thinking out of it for you. There’s comforting Chicken Rissoles, the easiest One-pan Chicken and Broccoli Lasagne, family-friendly One-pan Korean-style Beef Noodles and a cosy Chicken Cacciatore that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. The Jammy Tomato Pesto Gnocchi Bake is perfect for those nights when you need dinner to cook itself, while the Portuguese Chicken and Chips gives you all the satisfaction of takeaway without the price tag. And because future you deserves a little help too, the Bakery-style Sausage Rolls are perfect for lunches, snacks or easy dinners. Seven dinners and one less thing to think about this week.

Chicken Cacciatore
This Chicken Cacciatore is the kind of dinner that feels comforting and special without requiring complicated ingredients or hours standing at the stove.

Served over creamy parmesan polenta, it's a beautiful sit-down family meal that still feels realistic enough for an ordinary weeknight. Even better, the leftovers taste incredible the next day.
